What it is

This is a type of flour made from wheat that has not been bleached. "Enriched" means that vitamins and iron have been added back after processing. Malted barley flour is added for flavor and to help with browning.

Why it's used

It is commonly used in baked goods like bread, pasta, and tortillas. Manufacturers use it as a base ingredient because it provides structure and texture to products.

Health notes

Wheat flour is a staple food in many diets. The enrichment process adds back B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron, which can help prevent deficiencies. The FDA considers enriched wheat flour to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). JECFA and EFSA have evaluated wheat flour and its components.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. This flour contains gluten, a protein found in wheat that can cause issues for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
